"Why are women still often not properly listened to? Why are they sometimes perceived
to be less interesting than they are? Why do women tend to rush when they speak? Why
do many women feel the pressure to sound like girls when they speak? From one of the
world's leading experts on voice work comes this book, which is a call to arms for
women to reclaim the voice within through life and leadership. Arguing that power
and voices are directly linked to breath, Rodenburg makes a case for the oppression
of women in Western society over history having diminished our natural ability to
breathe. She examines all of these questions, and many more, to decipher what lies
at the heart of female empowerment when it comes to the voice. Combining elements
of experience and practice from Patsy Rodenburg's prolific career, she interrogates
Shakespeare's texts and presentation of female characters; develops the notion of
rhetoric in relation to the female voice; and applies concepts explored in her previous
books, such as the three circles of presence. Exploring the female voice through practical
exercises and stories from the front line, as well as profoundly personal and formative
experiences from her own life, the author defines the art of accessing the voice within
and reclaiming the woman's right to speak. A highly personal call-to-action that clarifies
the necessity of voice training in art and in life"
